ON THE FUNGI OF CEYLON, 83 



unknown ; and they may possibly form a group with Lycogala 

 terrestre between Myxogastres and Trichogastres. Large as is 

 the number of species which we have described, doubtless many 

 remain to repay future researches ; and we still hope that his 

 numerous duties will not entirely draw off our friend from his 

 favourite Cryptogams. 



* Polyporus dissitus, B. 8f Br. (Thwaites, no. 966.) 

 Spores angular, -10001--00015 long. 



1188. Pterula multifida, Fr. (No. 19.) 



On the ground amongst small herbaceous fragments. Peradeniya. 



Artocreas, B. Sf Br. 



It is necessary to remark that this is synonymous with Miche- 

 nera y B. & Curtis, and that Artrocreas, B. & C, is the same 

 with Michenera artocreas, B. & C, Cuban Fungi, no. 413. 



*DlDERMA DEPRESS UM, Fr. (No. 1044.) 



1189. Didymium squamulosum, Fr. (No. 1039.) 

 On bark. Peradeniya, Jan. 1869. 



*D. microcarpon, Fr., var. xantkopus, Ditm. (No. 76.) =D.fari- 

 naceum, no. 748. 



1190. D. reticulatum, B. 8f Br. Adnatum, reticulatum ; peridio 

 sulfureo, furfuraceo; floccis pallide citrinis; sporis nigris (no. 1046). 



Amongst short moss. Peradeniya, Dec, 1868. 



*Physarum nutans, P. (No. 1038.) 



On thin bark. Peradeniya, Dec. 1868. 



1191. P. DIDERMOIDES, P. (No. 135.) 



Placed doubfully under Didymium cinercum, 756. 



1192. P. lividum, Rostrf., var. conglobatum,Yr. (No. 55.) 

 On various decaying substances. 



1193. P. Mulleri, B. (No. 1043.) 



On dead wood, Peradeniya; Crocodile Creek, Queensland. 

 Looks just like Trichamphora paradoxa ; but the spores are quite dif- 

 ferent. 



We cannot at present give the characters of this species, as 

 the specimens are at Strasburg. 



1194. Dictydium ambiguum, Schrad. 

 On decayed wood. Peradeniya, Jan. 1869.
